<h4 id="how_to_add_the_opencpn_ppa_into_an_ubuntu_system">How to add the OpenCPN PPA into an Ubuntu system</h4>
<div class="level4">

<p>
You have two options to add the PPA to your system, either using the commandline Terminal or the <abbr title="Graphical User Interface">GUI</abbr> provided by the system, chose one that suits you better, not both.<br/>

<br/>

If you are using a non-standard variant of Ubuntu or a newer/older/whatever version than the one used while creating this guide, the <abbr title="Graphical User Interface">GUI</abbr> may be slightly different, try to use common sense before you start to be furious that the guide below does not work - it does. If it still does not work for you, ask in the support forum, providing exact steps you performed and exact error output you get.
</p>

<p>
<strong>There are two PPA repositories, one for stable versions only and one that includes beta versions. If you want the beta versions replace the “ppa:opencpn/opencpn” string in the following instructions with “ppa:bdbcat/opencpn”.</strong>
</p>

</div>

<h4 id="from_the_command_line">From the command line</h4>
<div class="level4">

<p>
<br/>

Open a <strong>Terminal</strong> and enter the following commands:
</p>
<pre class="code">sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:opencpn/opencpn
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opencpn</pre>

<p>
===<br/>

Using the graphical configuration tools ===<br/>

Start the <strong>Ubuntu Software Center</strong> <br/>

<br/>

From the <strong>Edit</strong> menu, select <strong>Software Sources…</strong> <br/>

<img src="../../opencpn/manual/ppa_2.h.267_tok.65e27a_w.384.jpeg" class="media" title="ppa_2.jpg" alt="ppa_2.jpg" width="384" height="267" /><br/>

<br/>

On the <strong>Other</strong> tab, click on <strong>Add…</strong> button<br/>

<img src="../../opencpn/manual/ppa_3.h.471_tok.9e831c_w.606.jpg" class="media" alt="" width="606" height="471" /><br/>

<br/>

In the dialog shown, fill in <strong>ppa:opencpn/opencpn</strong> (for stable versions) or <strong>ppa:bdbcat/opencpn</strong> (for beta versions) and click on the <strong>Add Source</strong> button<br/>

<img src="../../opencpn/manual/ppa_4.h.229_tok.c9d81c_w.604.jpg" class="media" alt="" width="604" height="229" /><br/>

<br/>

Wait until Ubuntu Downloads the necessary information and the progress indicator disappears<br/>

<br/>

From now on you are able to install OpenCPN as any other software. You will also get new stable versions automatically while updating your system.<br/>
